I was/am a huge Marrone fan, he was a great hire for SU, the best since coach P imo.  Gerg took the program into the abyss and Marrone, in a relatively short amount of time, rescued it and brought it back to respectability.  Really, that feat was miraculous in and of itself coming out of the Mariana Trench.   After crushing WVA in that last Pinstripe Bowl, I hadn't felt that good about the football program since the McNabb days.  Unfortunately, that feeling didn't last, as shortly thereafter he had [I]shuffled off to Buffalo.   [/I]

Maybe he would've stayed if the powers that be at that time weren't so hell bent on spending any coin to improve the facilities.  It wasn't until after he left when SU began to improve the much needed facility upgrades and additions.  In my opinion, had he not left, along with all these recent upgrades, we'd be in the top 25 today.
 
Just as the Browns once had a winner in Belichick, SU had in Marrone.
